Deep Water: A great and compelling story about Trust it seems like fear at first and fear is talked about quite a bit, but the story is about trust in the relationship between mother and daughter. When we are in a relationship with someone we realize that even in our fears (and theirs) we can count on them to be there for us (and us them). A powerful story!!! with a powerful lesson!!!
7th Word: A young bot learning the Lakota language made this very astute and profound statement, " the bus was the classroom... well actually the world is a classroom." I really like this because learning happens everywhere even when we do not ask to be taught.
First Impression
This Story really caught my attention, mainly because of the title. I constantly remind students that you only get one chance to make a first impression. I really thought that I was trying to help them, but after hours of reflection will have to reconsider my views about this topic. While you only ever get one chance to make that FIRST impression there is so much more to be discovered. The way this series of still shots were woven together and the voice of the author narrating you through the story of her imperfections lands squarely on your heart when she says, " and after he finished with the picture he said, I was beautiful, that night when I looked in the mirror I was perfect." Then the greatest wisdom of the story comes when she asks the viewer to share in the possibility of seeing things differently, Not differently bad or differently good, just differently. We should all be teaching others that different is just that and try to remove all the judgment that comes from assigning the moniker of good or bad.

I previewed this video but did not finish it, it did not interest me. After reading your post I went back and took a good look my thought was, how many times do we tell other that we need to change? What does that even mean to change for what or why. In her case her change was just to help us understand a perception. The perception of how we look at things. Glad I watched it thanks for the deep insight.
